Sreemathey Ramanujaya Namaha
Sreemadh Varavara Munaye Namaha
Sree Venkata Gurave Namaha
Respected Bhagavatha Bandhus,
Today being Aani Thiru Moolam, a joyous occasion for all Sri Vaishnavas, to celebrate, The Avathara dinam of “Sri Sailesa Dayapatram” Thaniyan
...
Emperumaan exhibits himself in 5 forms namely
1)Para
2)Vyuham
3)Vibhava
4)Archa
5)Antharyami
In the above, Rama & Krishna are vibhava avtars, both avtars are for the rectification of human kind, as Rama he walked the path of dharma, and as Krishna he did “Geetha Upadesam”. But the misleaded man kind did not show any interest to follow their practices/preachings.
In Rama Avtaram, the lord had “Vishwamitra Maharishi”, as his acharya/guru, even though Vishwamitra could create another swarga and also earned a title “Bramharishi”, He fell for a woman, Menaka, and had no control over his senses.
In Krishna Avatharam, the lord had “Sandipini Mahraishi” as his acharya/guru, & Sandipini who was so mesmerized by Putra vatsalyam (love on his son) ,asked Krishna for a guru dakshina to bring back his dead son alive.
Even though the lord himself, is supreme almighty, and knows everything, he submits himself to seek knowledge from a proper achariyan during his vibhava avatharams, to highlight/emphasis to us the importance of learning from a sadacharyan
In both avtars, the lord’s perusal for sadacharyan did not turn out and the lord was waiting for a perfect time, to select his acharyan with all the qualities he preferred.
Namperumal/Ranganatha had a great desire to listen to the vyakyanam of Thiruvaimozhi by Nampillai, which is known as Eedu 36,000 ,( the celebrated commentary on Nammalvar's Thiruvaimozhi )and was waiting for a suitable person to deliver pravachanam on it,
In 1430, Swami Mamunigal was summoned by Lord Ranganatha to Srirangam and was asked to give a discourse on Eedu Muppatharayairam.The discourse was done over a period of one year, over which all the festivities of the temple was put oh hold as ordered by Lord Ranganatha. On the last day of discourse,(Moola nakshtaram of Aani month),The Lord Ranganatha had the bhogyam of hearing to the nectar of mamuni's commentaries, and thus impressed by Swami Mamunigal's exposition, appeared as a priest’s child and presented himself in front of the gathering and rendered a benedictory verse or thaniyan, honoring Swami Mamunigal and disappeared into the sanctum., Namperumal accepted Mamunigal as his acharyan. And thus was born the “Sri Sailesa Dayapatram” Thaniyan
The benedictory verse given below, is recited in almost all the divyakshetrams, before the commencement of Divya prabhandham as ordered by lord Ranganatha.
Srisailesa dhaya pathram dheebhakthyadhi gunarnavam Yatheendra pravanam vandhe Ramyajamataram munim
Meaning : I offer my respects to Sri Manavalamamuni, the receptacle of Srisailesa’s (Tiruvaimozhipillai’s) grace. He is the abode of jnana, bhakti and all other good qualities, and is forever lost in meditation on Sri Ramanuja
This is an instance of Lord showing his respect and devotion to his acharya.
Thus Manavala Mamunigal became acharya to Emperumaan himself. This also completes the beautiful acharya Rathna Haram,i,e Guruparampara, the first acharyan (Emperumaan) being sishya to the last acharya Manavala Mamunigal.
